The jury in a Philadelphia priest sex abuse case told a judge Wednesday that they are unable to reach a verdict on four of the five charges, CNN affiliate KYW reports.
In a note to Judge Teresa Sarmina, the panel said that it has developed “firm, fixed opinions” and “entrenched positions” among its members, making it unable to return verdicts, according to KYW.
The judge said she will offer the jurors some additional or clarifying remarks if they would find that helpful, according to KYW.
